Liberator Aria XL Flip Chaise 22-Inch Convertible Sex Chair – Teal

The Liberator Aria XL Flip Chaise in teal is a wide sex chair that doubles as an end-of-bed bench. It's the 22-inch version of the Aria, sometimes called the Aria Grand, so you get the same rolling curves with more space to stretch out on. The deep teal microvelvet is a colour people tend to choose on purpose: it looks like a design piece, which is exactly what you want from furniture that has a second job.

A colour that works as decor

Teal pairs well with grey, white and natural wood, and it lifts a neutral bedroom without looking like it belongs in a different room. Folded and covered, it sits at the foot of the bed as a padded bench for putting on shoes or piling cushions. If you'd prefer something that blends in, the black Aria XL is the same piece in a darker shade.

Opening it up

Closed, the bench measures 60 × 22 × 18 in. Unfold it and it becomes a 72-inch chaise that rises to 27.5 in at its peak. The shape gives you three working zones: a high point that props hips up for penetration from behind, a lower seat for riding with feet grounded, and a sloped end to lean back against or kneel on. The supplied half-bolster can go under hips for more angle or behind the neck for comfort.

A sex chair wide enough for two

At 22 inches, the XL has room for one partner to lie fully supported while the other kneels astride, and it's comfortable to recline on alone. The trade-off against the 18-inch Aria is a slightly wider stance when straddling, so shorter partners may find the slimmer model easier to sit astride.

Materials and care

The Aria is built from high-density foam inside a water-resistant liner, with a removable microvelvet cover that's machine washable. Check the sewn-in label before washing, and air-dry or tumble on low. A non-slip base keeps it planted when things get energetic. Between washes, a quick pass with a lint roller or a soft brush keeps the velvet pile looking even.

Where to put it

The obvious spot is the foot of the bed, where it works as a bench every day. It also fits under a window or along a wall in a spare room or walk-in closet, as long as you can pull it out and open it to its full 72 inches. Keep it a little away from radiators and baseboard heaters, and out of strong afternoon sun to protect the teal. Liberator's wedges, throws and toy mounts, all in the Liberator collection, pair well with it if you want extra angles or a protective layer.

What arrives

This chaise comes in a plain brown, non-retail box, compressed to keep it manageable. Unpack it in the room where it will live and give the foam a few hours to reach full size before fitting the covers. No assembly tools are needed.
